When I was only 7 months pregnant and knew that we were about to go in for an emergency c-section, the doctors made sure I knew every possible bad outcome that we could be facing. I had no idea what to expect but all I knew it was the day the Lord designed for me to meet my sweet baby girl. When she was born she was the smallest (weighing in at 2lbs 8oz) but most beautiful person I had ever seen in my life. Emily had the most perfect tiny round head, the perfect little nose and the little perfect mouth. I often take a moment and watch the 30 minute video (seen here) David took of Emily right after she was born. You can see her funny little chicken legs, listen her little squeaky cry, and watch the doctors and nurses whisk her away to the NICU. This video never fails to brighten my day and put life back into perspective for me. For all the ways it could have gone, Emily was born perfect.
I can't believe 1000 days have come and gone - but each day my sweet princess has grown even more beautiful than the day before.
3 days (first time I was allowed to hold her)
Emily - 1000 days beautiful (which translates to a little over 2 1/2 years)
Much Love,
Heather
